Talking of mods.......

How much hassle would it be to convert my 2.2....to a 3.0/3.2??


Or would i be better buying an Elite?

 :y ;D

The Omega though is built to handle the power.

For a 2.5 3.0 cams ect is worth while

3.2 VeccyC has trouble putting the power down, that kind of BHP needs RWD.

Cruise control is most useful mod  :y

If it's got auto transmission there's a gearbox upgrade that someone with a Tech2 can do. I'm not sure exactly what differences it makes, but I think they're worth it.

Fitting a V car rear axle, tunneling and a new gearbox, that will sort out the power handling issues

I would like to know if there are any upgrades other then the software update from Vauxhall
